  • Hello, I clicked on some of your writings and they have been removed. Was wondering how to reach out outside of here as I see that you do not hang out here anymore. Very interesting information on lights. Was wondering how to get access to your writings.
    Well sir my 2 plants are showing white pistils and brown hairs. I'm living in Ireland and I've been growing my plants outdoor. I'm just worried about night time temperatures and how long does the flowering stage lasts. your help would be graciously accepted.

    Hi there, yes night temperatures can be a problem with outdoor plants. More so with greenhouses which is what i use. One year i planted too early and had plants that were double overheads. Much too large for managing in a greenhouse, so i had massive problems with low temperatures and high humidity at night. I mitigated this with gas heaters and massive airflow systems. Outdoors however, you are left to the will of nature. However if you have plenty of wind, it makes for a much better chance for rot prevention.

    Flowering is very dependant on genetics, which can vary from 6 - 12 weeks. Many finish around the 8-9 week. All you can do is keep checking on her, shake off any water if it has rained and if you see any sign of bud rot, it may be best to think about cutting her early.

    Hope it all goes well, i remember my first time. ;)
    Hey Dan I just got a BlueLab Quantum PAR meter ordered. I am reading through many of your writings regarding sources and trying to understand as much as I can regarding the subject.

    Do you think I need to measure the output of my lighting system using the many different measurement techniques or is just a good PAR meter enough to give me a good idea my light sources photon output.

    i use 2 ceramic metal halide lamps each at 315 w, and one T5 fluorescent which claims 40 lumens.
    I am introducing two ultra violet fluorescent t5 for late bloom.

    If the PAR meter can only read between 400 and 700 nm is the inability to not see just below 400 and up above the 700 nm range anything to be concerned about?

    As ever you’re advice is priceless and I do apologise for writing you directly.
    Wanted to write and say Thank You for even coming back to an old post to update me on the correct article to read in regards to lighting, I keep reading everyday on cannabis, and not forum, but rather articles all the time... I want to learn everything I can to one day be one of the best growers and really know my stuff from the smallest things upwards.
